EL PAALO Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 junkyard time ....... anything that fits in the stock spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dv8ingvector Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 They make a 12v electric scissor jack that might be an option, though I am not sure on price or if it will fit in the spot for the oem one, with out modification? If fitmint in the stock location is not important. There are also smaller aluminum race jacks you could check out or you could go with a telescoping bottle jack. Though I also think the junkyard is the probably the most practical way to go. Just make sure the replacement one you pick up doesn't have some weird proprietary tab on the lifting plate that may not work with the Legacy. PS: Thought I am sure you now, I fell obligated to say it..if it is the type the goes over the pinch weld instead of a plate, make suer it fits over the Legacys welds first. And of corse make sure it goes high enough; though unless you have an OB it is less of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Legacy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 You can get a jack in sears that comes in a nice heavy duty plastic box that would fit nicely in the trunk. It is a floor jack but comes in a decent case that will deff make you thank yourself for buying if you need to change a tire in a hurry. Does anyone else make the discovery that if you need to change a rear tire you need to grab a full size off the front to not f up the diff. Thats why I roll with a full size in the trunk!

DMTaylor Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 look for a jack from a first gen Neon (95-99) or similar year Chrysler vehicle. They have the socket end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonwacker Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Did you check in the mounting location under then trunk floor cover (the bottom side of it)? I had a flat once, and forgot to check that spot, even though I'd used the jack several times before and should have known where the handle was. I wound up sticking the little screwdriver through the hole and cranking it for what seemed like forever :lol: I felt like an idiot when I went to put the jack away and saw the little bastard sitting right where I didn't look for it. But I got the tire swapped sorry...this forum practically blows goat nuts so im not always on here.Team Pony Express POSTED FROM MY COMPUTER USING A WEB BROWSER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Reviving this thread from a coma, any good and STURDY choices? My daughter's boyfriend has a CRV and its jack is longer and stronger than the Legacy's. However, it wouldn't QUITE fit under the front of my lowered GT wagon with a flat. However, it could probably have been slid under by lifting the front corner by the wheel well, or I could have jacked at the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Here's what I went with. Longer and sturdier than the OEM jack, it also has a nice large base so it won't move around. Unfortunately, it won't fit in the circular holder that sits inside the spare because of the base but it will sit upright fully lowered in the bin above it.
